The Red Earth MFA Low-Residency Program in Creative Writing at Oklahoma City University is pleased to announce five $1,000 merit scholarships for members of its inaugural class.
The Red Earth MFA is a two-year graduate program. Students work with faculty mentors to create a manuscript-length work of creative prose in fiction, non-fiction, poetry, screenwriting or another creative genre. The program allows students to continue with their professional lives as they devote short amounts of time to the residencies then continue their classwork remotely from home with the guidance of a faculty member.
All merit scholarships are based on the quality of the writing sample supplied as part of the MFA application. Preference will be given to prospective students who complete their application by March 15. Notification of the scholarships will be mailed and also announced at OCU's annual Creative Writing Festival on April 16. Scholarships must be applied towards the first year of study in the MFA program.
In addition, the Red Earth program is offering $1,000 tuition reductions in the first year of study for all of its inaugural class. The summer residency is slated for July 6 - 16.
